Angle paths are superposed in tikz

When I have to draw complex figures like this, I colour the angular areas, which I think makes it easier to understand.

To do this, I created styles for each angle.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% style of angles
\tikzset{common/.style={fill opacity=.5,text opacity=1},
phi/.style={common,draw, ->, "$\varphi$",fill=blue!30,text=blue,angle radius=11mm,font=\footnotesize,angle eccentricity=.7},
theta/.style={common,draw=green!50!black, ->, "$\theta$", angle eccentricity=.6,fill=green,text=green!50!black},
theta-phi/.style={common,draw, ->, "$\theta-\varphi$", angle eccentricity=.7,fill=red!30,text=red!40!black,angle radius=12mm,font=\footnotesize}}

I would give them a different angle radius, and move a few things around that they do not overlap. (I also changed the coordinate from A to E for the theta angle.)
